![]() A journey which takes him to question himself in the process. He's just forced to deal with the loss of his family both inside and outside of his own head. The only thing I could take seriously about it was the thought of Lupino taking it seriously." “Jack Lupino was crazy all right” And no, Max doesn't visit Hell in any part of the game. "Guess I wasn't that smart" And one thing which should be mentioned is, that all the so-called satanicĬontent "Lupino had been spending a lot of time getting intimate with the guy downstairs. Positive-One of the things which the reviewer found objectionable was the dark storyline. Plus, Max never visits hell, they are his nightmares. He is only able to kill the "bad guys", which are junkies and his enemies. Positive-While Max Payne may have violence and sex and drugs, it never condones drug use… Max is never able to kill a police officer either. Positive-What I'm amazed at is that no one on this site has noticed the pervasive Norse mythology in this game…from Alfred Woden to the drug Valkyr-V to the fact that the game takes place during the coldest winter in recorded history (a reference to Ragnarok) to Fenris and many other references…I guess it takes a pagan to notice these things, eh? My Ratings: It is a lot of fun, but don't let that pull you into what is hidden deeper. That stuff is most definitely real and very scary. The thing that bothered me the most was the presence of Satanic activity. Although it has incredibly good graphics and amazing gameplay, it just doesn't redeem the content that is portrayed in a graphic and all too real way. There are more things that I left out just because there is so much more. While that seems bad enough, the cutscenes are filled with suggestive dialogue and crude remarks about orgasms, adult movies, and masturbation. Pornographic signs and magazines are everywhere, while one of the games main levels is actually a brothel. Last but certainly not least, there is the sexual immorality. In one cutscene, Max is involuntarily shot up with drugs and goes through a scary scene of illusions which you get to play through more than once. Addicts can be found throughout the game and used needles litter the floors of bathrooms and tables. During one level, you can here people praying to Satan, find Satanic books littering the floor, and Max even gets to take a journey to Hell several times during the game only to find his family screaming at him for help. I found myself actually scared during some scenes of the game. Presence of the occult, drug use, and sexual immorality. Presence in this game, I didn't find that as disturbing as I did the This filter doesn't eliminate the killing, but it does take out the blood and gore and eliminate other elements of the game which shouldn't have been in the game in the first place. There is a filter that you can turn on which is also password protected. Seems a bit over the top and for those who just can't take all the gore, Max Payne is definitely a violent video game. Which has even darker secrets than he ever imagined. ![]() One thing leads toĪnother and Max quickly finds himself in the middle of a NYC drug ring Revenge becomes the main goal of our hero: Max.
